@nwagoner This is a great list. I would hit Maker (corner Little Bourke and Hardware Ln) or their roastery in Richmond for a magic, and Pellegrini’s (Bourke between Exhibition and Spring) for classic espresso.
I counted Tim Picton as a colleague, comrade and mate. I am deeply saddened to learn of his passing.
We worked together over many years, through his roles for former Premier Daniel Andrews and with the Victorian Infrastructure Delivery Authority.
He worked on many different things for the Victorian people, but his biggest contributions were transport, transport and transport.
Tim Picton got Victorians moving. He made a massive difference helping remove dozens of level crossings and getting started on the Metro Tunnel, the West Gate Tunnel, the North East Link, and so much more.
Today, I recognise his countless friends and colleagues in the Victorian labour movement, who are feeling shock and grief.
On behalf of the Victorian Government and the Victorian Labor Party, I send my heartfelt condolences to Priya, to Charlotte, to everyone in his family, and to everyone who loved him.
I am so sorry for your loss.
The Adass Israel Synagogue was built by Holocaust survivors.
Like any place of worship in this state, it should be a refuge - a place of peace, prayer and safety.
Nice touch.. the long time operator of the Parliament House cafeteria, Aussies, Tony Calabria, is getting a shoutout from the PM and LOTO as he retires. Everyone who has worked at Parliament has benefited from his family and his coffee.
Breaking News: Moments ago @sallymcmanus and the @SDAunion lodged at the Fair Work Commission our case to abolish junior rates for 18, 19 & 20 year olds in the retail, fast food and pharmacy sectors.

Today, protestors and intruders brought violence, homophobia and anti-Semitism to the front door of state conference.
I’m disgusted.
No one should be cowered by these bullies.

Last week, the Government announced welcome funding for Holocaust education
But this week, Craig Kelly, who has compared Victoria to Nazi Germany, recorded a podcast with Pete Evans, who's shared neo-Nazi memes. It's time for the Prime Minister to stop being indifferent #auspol
Trump politics is dangerous.
Australian politicians embracing and glorifying it need to be called out.
Let’s not wait till frenzied supporters storm parliament.
Loving our neighbour as ourselves means being committed to building a world in which everyone has access to the goods of the earth, in which all can develop as individuals and as families, and in which fundamental rights and dignity are guaranteed to all. #MigrantsDay
